CARJACK ARREST

21012011

The Liberal Party
First things first, happy anniversary to the Liberal Party! It is now 65 years old… or as Senator Loren Legarda would say, “husband material.”

The Liberal Party marked its 65th anniversary last Wednesday. Some say the party’s old, others insist it’s still young. You be judge: when the Liberal Party was founded, Senator Enrile was on his first term as senator.

On Wednesday, the Liberal Party unanimously elected Mar Roxas as party president… just two days after the Noy-Bi “party” unanimously elected Atty. Sixto Brillantes Jr. as Comelec chairman.

Noticeably, former senator Mar Roxas was in ‘barong Tagalog’ last Wednesday. Observers say had he insisted on wearing blue, he would have lost the presidency of the party.

Former senator Mar Roxas denied that he would be more powerful than President Aquino once appointed in government. Well, that’s believable. How can you be more powerful than the country’s president when you can’t even be more powerful than your wife?

Carjacking
The Land Cruiser of restaurateur Margarita Fores, a cousin of former senator Mar Roxas was carjacked in Makati City last Wednesday. And Vice President Jejomar Binay was like, “Don’t look at me!”

Carjacking II
Malacañang admits it finds the spate of carjacking cases alarming. To prove its concern, the palace has assigned a group of men to watch over the President’s Porsche 24/7.

Looking Wow
The Philippine Daily Inquirer reported that former president and now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is making heads turn with her “svelte figure and glowing complexion.” Today, she has a 25-inch waistline… perfectly complementing her 25-inch height.

Congresswoman Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo says her waistline is down from 31 to 25 because of exercise and vegetable diet. Not to be outdone, former President Joseph Estrada says exercise and vegetables have also been helpful to him. In fact, his IQ is up from 80 to 89.

Lapid’s New Bill
Saying, “We are being alienated in our very own country, and we are left to figure out for ourselves what these establishments are,” Sen. Lito Lapid filed a new billseeking to require all signs, signboards, or billboards to be written either in Filipino or English. While waiting for the passage of his bill, Lapid vowed to boycott Le Souffle, Amici, Focaccia, Thien Duong, Mi Piace, Le Coeur de France, Schwarzwälder, and other establishments whose names he cannot pronounce.

Citing the “widespread emergence of restaurants and other specialty shops bearing signages in foreign languages,” former stuntman turned actor-politician Lito Lapid lamented, “Filipinos are left to wonder what these signages mean.” Lapid got the idea for his new bill from an embarrassing experience last week when he tried but failed to buy dishwashing paste from Häagen-Dazs.

Bringing in Mar Roxas might be a good move by bringing in some intelligence so lacking in the current administration. But he may not be enough to fill in the lack and may in the process end up being contaminated by the the basket-ful of rotten bitter gourds.

Heckling lang si Mr. PH wrt Sen. Enrile….he’s such a survivor…ever present and still in power. Hope he has mellowed though from what he was during the Marcos years. Have heard seniors to me say good things, unsavory and “katakot” things about him.

i think senator lapid makes sense…you go and pass by korean groceries, schools and establishments where the texts are in korean.with other nationalities there are bylines.you end up wondering if you are in seoul.

Sea cows or “dugong” are very gentle creatures that prey on no one. They graze on sea grass and in the process release the nutrients from the seabeds so that other creatures may live. Puno is like a giant barnacle that weighs down the ship, feeds on dirt, wounds the flesh in contact while getting a free ride.

Schwarzwalder – The name of this resto calls to mind CR’s pronouncing it as spelled, on TV; her boyfriend, BB corrected her, unctuously saying “SchwarValder, darling”. Guess who? CR was formerly the girlfriend of EM. She’s still active on TV. BB is now in the US.

when people actually pay their rightful tax here then things will change. until then it is a rice republic for the chinese to rape and pillage with no chance for future generations.
it is not rocket science but for failed economic dimwits like p-noy above his intellect and his principles.
he is the epitome of hypocricy and his parents will be turning in their graves.
the black sheep.
children are dying because of the greed and insensitivity of the criminal classes.
and noone seems to care. it is gods grand plan. great excuse to do nothing.
no wonder filipinos are regarded as the lowest iq in the world.

People raised hell over GMA’s diner in a 5-star restaurant (the bill not on her), VAT (with money going to the government), MManila flood (86 dead), release of Chinese poachers in Palawan (through China’s request) and alleged presidential involvement in ZTE deal (still to be proven in court). But people seemed amused when PNoy got a Porsche (the bill on him), raised the price of almost everything (with most money going to big business), mishandled the Bicol, Visayas and Mindanao flood (65 died and still rising), boycotted the Chinese Nobel Prize winner (a Philippine govt gesture to please the China) and secured Hacienda Luisita from land reform (already proven)

anyway, i’d like to correct senior60’s assumption na di ako titira kay NoyNoy. medyo mahaba haba lang pasensya ko, unlike other people who has been screaming for his head ever since his first day in office. if he messes up a la Gloria, i’ll scream for his head too. i havent seen anything yet that he or his admin has become a full GMA clone.

Only the blind or a yellow-tinted-spectacled emo like you phreddox cannot see the hypocrisy of Pnoy!…My heart bleeds for the poor and I will sacrifice my privacy and personal pleasures to run for the presidency even though I don’t aspire for it, just so I can help the hungry and the wretched poor of this wretched country…but before that, let me drive my poor-sha!

whatever positives he got by appointing robredo is negated, cancelled-out by not giving him (robredo) his support. it even looks like it’s just a panakip-butas and temp appointment coz he did not submit his name for confirmation…robredo has responsibility but got no power over the pnp…what kind of setup is that?
